Poodles are great dogs. You can make them look like all kinds of non-dog things. Like an aquarium:

My wife and I were big fans for the 1st 2 seasons. The last season it got really weird and we lost interest. I still catch re-runs when I can. Dennis Haysbert has the best voice since James Earl Jones. The rest of the cast was quite good as well.
Tim, I haven’t been to West Texas for decades, so I haven’t had to see what’s been going on since I grew up and moved away. We had a windmill on a stock tank outside Midland. Doubt if that’s permitted any more due to water table subsidence.
And how ’bout those windmill farms, aren’t they just dreamy?
Anyone else a fan of the tv show “The Unit”? I occasionally still watch an episode in reruns. I love those Delta Force guys. The cast is terrific, especially Dennis Haysbert.

Ah, a trip to Big Sky country… Sorry about the sand storms.
Ooohh, we love Blue Bell Happy Tracks. Shortly after it was introduced the B-B rep stocking the freezer case at our local Randalls told me it had originally been named Moo Tracks, but that sounded too much like another brand’s Moose Tracks, so B-B was asked to change it. At first we thought it was a seasonal flavor, but apparently… Read more »
#180 – Texas panhandle weather is something to behold. In the few years I was out there, I saw several unusual weather phenomena. One during a dust storm it started to rain, dumping big clumps of mud on the windshield. You might also want to check your paint as the sandblasting effect can be severe at times. The tumbleweeds crossing… Read more »
Handsome and I left home this morning about 9:30 or so, and made it into Lubbock around 5:30. We drove around his prospective campus, where basketball tryouts are supposedly taking place tomorrow. Then we arrived at our LaQuinta hotel room (which I Pricelined at $50) and it comes with wi-fi access. So now that we’ve eaten dinner, and I’ve taken… Read more »
That would prolly work, not sure the available tonnage, but it just might work.
Sergei #109 Texpat calls them all posers. I imagine its because he has a long list of those serving or who have served who will tell us not danger was present. For a guy who got pizzed off about somebody saying that folks were making Jones out to be a hero, you certainly are taking a lot of time telling… Read more »
And ain’t it just the dern good fortune for all us that never happened.
Pearl Beer and Shiner. My Dad brought those along on many weekend camp outs on Redfish Island, Smith Point, Double Bayou, and spoil islands that no longer exist. I must have sent hundreds of stubbies to the bottom of Galveston, Dickinson, and tributaries to those bays with a b-b gun. Red Stripe is a tasty Lager in its’ own right.… Read more »

I thought I would go through the 33 fans to see if I recognized any Couch Critters. But of course people use their real names in FaceBook. How would I know if “Pericles Manthos” was our HeadShaker or our gtotracker42 ?? 🙂
Drop satellite dishes and Barbie dolls. They’re cheaper than bombs, and more effective in the long run.

Methinks you go too far here. I see fighting jihadis as more like eradicating pests — disease-carrying mosquitos, plague rats, etc. More public health and less religious fervor, please.

Very cute, and right on, too.
This brief video clip will set everyone straight on book burning, rioting in the streets, and the like. Worth the watch.

I saw Happy Tracks and was going to buy it & try it, but then saw they had Tin Roof today so got that instead.
As far as the moooooslims go, it strikes me that any group that is not willing to live and let live, WHICH THE FRIGGIN MOOOSLIMS WILL NOT, doesn’t merit any consideration of their feelings what so ever. IF those camel raping stone age buttheads can’t police their own then to hell with them. If they choose to shoot from a… Read more »
Nutty as an Imam DURHAM, N.C. – Authorities say the woman who falsely claimed she was raped by Duke lacrosse players has been accused of stabbing her boyfriend in the chest at a North Carolina home. Durham police say 32-year-old Crystal Mangum was arrested Sunday morning several hours after the stabbing that seriously injured her 46-year-old boyfriend. Investigators said the… Read more »
Heh! I still have a coupla Hop’n Gator cans in my collection. Never have actually tried the stuff though.
Though a young teenager, I learned to drink beer in Germany — but it was pretty
much exclusively the seven or eight beers brewed in Munich.
I really like fresh squeezed lemonade and I really like beer. I have found that the Mikes Hard Lemonade, the original flavor, is outstanding.
As far as breakfast beers go it is pretty hard to beat a Heinekin.
Scotch Buy beer was horrible. If you mix it with moonshine, your taste buds get numb quicker so you can’t taste it as much.

I tried Billy Beer. Twernt nothing to get hung up on. Pearl Brewing made the beer you might have purchased in Texas.
I spent several years in Germany. in the land of 1500 beers I quelled many a hangover with a drink they called Cola Schaupum (i think I spelled that right). It was a mix of pilsner and Fanta cola. Bamberg was the birth place of Rauchbier (smoke beer). This mess seemed nearly as thick as molasses and tasted like a… Read more »
Anybody ever get to try a ‘Billy’ beer?
#158 Hence the quotes.
There’s a Facebook page entitled One million strong to bring back Hop’n Gator. They’re up to a whopping 33 strong after over a year.
It has a “fruit” flavor?
btw – it makes a decent mixer. 😉
Gatorade is a fruit?
I had a margarita in El Paso that had a dash of grapefruit in it. It was quite tasty.
Interesting, I had not thought of that. Makes sense though.
I always get queasy when yall start talking about so-called beer.
The first “fruit beer” I ever had was a Gatorade flavored malt liquor. I still get a little queasy just thinking about it.
Jim Treacher at The Daily Caller: The President of the United States bombs a Muslim country, and some nobody in Florida burns a Koran. Guess which one’s to blame for rioting in Afghanistan?
Excellent question.
GoatDude, Now that’s interesting. I’d give it a shot, but to be honest I’m not too keen on grapefruit. Combined with beer it could be good though. You could use some of the grapefruit bitterness in lieu of the bittering hops. As long as a good balance is maintained between the malty body and bitterness I reckon it might be… Read more »
If it did, wouldn’t it be rocky road?
Hard iced tea and similar are “fermented malt beverages”. Beer has hops in it, plus the malt is roasted to varying degrees. Mead has honey flavors, true hard cider and perry, etc. retain lots of flavor from their ingredient fruits. (they end up tasting like a dry white wine with a bit of a finish like the component fruit. The… Read more »
I bought some Blu Bell “Happy Tracks” flavor. It’s vanilla with lots Of chocolate swirled in and full of something like miniature Reeses peanut butter cups. Pretty good, but pretty rich.
It’s no replacement for Tin Roof, though. Which does not have marshmallows, dammit. 🙂
Here is one for Dude. Ought to his cup of ..tea. I stopped for a tour of the brewery last week. They had this on tap but I did not get to try it.

(First time I’ve been to Google today and it has an ice cream theme on its logo.) It was Twisted Tea radio commercials where I heard the concept. Looks like it may be more of a home-brew idea and not so much store-bought. Saw some Hard Lemonade recipes too.
Fruit-flavored beer shouldn’t be confused with sugar in the tank. Not at all the same thing.
🙂
Kinda mugly and overcast all day out here on the north bank of the Barzos at Richmond with just a fleeting hint of sunlight breaking through late this morning. At least that’s confined the temp to the upper 70s. Breezy all day as more pollen and live oak blossoms fly about further coating everything. The back yard looks like a… Read more »
Oh yeah, fair enough. I guess the acidity might be a bit much in the am. My favorite I’ve ever had early was Weihenstephan Lager in Fredericksburg, TX. Probably a location situation there though as much as the beer itself.
I figure Lindsay Graham drinks fruit flavored beer.
Well, I guess hard iced tea is different from Long Island. Sounds interesting, but as close as I’ve ever gotten to that hard tea is a few batches of mead I’ve made. I do love me some mead from time to time.
I can drink the occasional Lindeman’s Framboise. I just wouldn’t consider it a breakfast beer.
I’ve not heard that term, but I have had a few Long Island Iced Teas. Not sure if that’s the same thing or not. Either way, Long Island Iced Tea is nothing at all like beer and the only real resemblance it bears to actual iced tea is its color.
Has anyone ever had a “hard iced tea” and if so, is it any good? Does it taste like ice tea or like beer or just taste awful?
I really don’t know why fruit-flavored beers get dissed as they do. The Belgians have been doing them quite well for many years. Then again, these are the same people who put mayo on their french fries, or pommes frittes, or whatever fancy name they give ’em over there. At least Pierre Celis had the good sense to come to… Read more »
